As Gentoo gets ready for it's 2004.3 release cycle we have prepared a |
| 2 |
number of uClibc stages (aka development environments) that need |
| 3 |
testing. The arches we are initially supporting right now are x86, ppc |
| 4 |
and arm little endian. |

x86: |

8.2M stage1-x86-uclibc-20040927.tar.bz2 |
| 12 |
16M stage2-x86-uclibc-20040927.tar.bz2 |

34M stage3-x86-uclibc-20040927.tar.bz2 |

|
| 15 |
9.0M stage1-x86-uclibc-hardened-2004.3.tar.bz2 |
| 16 |
17M stage2-x86-uclibc-hardened-2004.3.tar.bz2 |

Set 1 is your std i386/-Os stages |
| 20 |
Set 2 (these are the ones I like) are complete Position Independent |
| 21 |
Executables and coupled with with IBM's SSP |
| 22 |
piessp add a slight bit of size overhead compared to your standard x86 |
| 23 |
stages but offers much better security protections which make them an |
| 24 |
ideal starting point for your x86 uClibc based security projects. |

ppc: |
| 28 |
Nothing special here. With some luck we may have ppc-pie in the future. |
| 29 |
9.7M stage1-ppc-uclibc-2004.3.tar.bz2 |
| 30 |
22M stage2-ppc-uclibc-2004.3.tar.bz2 |
| 31 |
41M stage3-ppc-uclibc-2004.3.tar.bz2 |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
arm: |
| 34 |
9.3M stage1-arm-uclibc-2004.3.tar.bz2 |
| 35 |
19M stage2-arm-uclibc-2004.3.tar.bz2 |
| 36 |
39M stage3-arm-uclibc-2004.3.tar.bz2 |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
You can use these stages to build packages for your zaurus/netwinders or |
| 39 |
whatever your desire is. In the future after this release cycle we plan |
| 40 |
to offer arm big endian stages as well. |

As always bug reports go to http://bugs.gentoo.org first. |
| 44 |
Bug reports to the uClibc mailing list about these stages will result in |
| 45 |
you being flamed for not paying attention. |
| 46 |
Thanks to all those of you that have done bug testing, reporting and |
| 47 |
submitted patches or helped in the fundamental design of things. |
